To all friends and family:
This blog is intended to keep all of you posted on information, updates, and thoughts from the Turner family as we work to bring Karsie into this world. To all who have been supportive through prayer, kind words, and hugs we both want to say "Thank you" from the bottom of our hearts. This has been and will continue to be a very trying time for us and every act of love from you has given us inspiration and strength.
-Kevin, Michelle, & Karsie-
We have given Karsie an email account so when she is older she can read all of the support that was sent her way during this time. Feel free to write a note to her or a prayer for her. Write to her at karsiegene@gmail.com.
Nana and Karsie snuggle. Grandpa has a last visit with Karsie (due to flu restrictions, he will not be able to see her until she comes home). Sleeping so comfy! Karsie is still on 24cal/oz. She is tolerating it fairly well with fewer spit-ups and she is a much happier girl. She still isn't growing the way she needs to be growing. She has averaged 5grams a day for the past 3 days (minimum growth for her would need to be 15-30... with 30-60 being the goal). Pinky looks great and our surgeon anticipates all skin within 2-3 weeks! We are not sure what the plan is for getting Karsie to grow, but somehow it appears she will need more calories.
